LiONDOV, SATUR p AY, JULY 1, isog• Intelligence has bt,en received from Heligoland, which states, that the Juke of PRUT:swroK, at the head 0f,10,00Q men, had entered Halle, having left strong garrison in Dresden. It clops not appear that the Dul:e has met with any serious opposition in his progress. The whole North of Permc.ny is now 'open 'to him, and King JEROME must fee; that he holds his throne by a most precarious tenure in deed there are strong reports tri l he.bas flea for safety to Frankfort: We this morning received Portuguese Papers tc,) {he 7th ult. The intelligence they bring is in ge neral not very important. They state, however, that a vessel bad arrived at Lisbon, the Captain of uhich reported that an insurreEtion had taken place at Genoa, and that the Genoese had put all the French in that city to death. We received the igth Bulletin of the French Army at so late an hour yesterday, that we were under the necessity of sUbMitting it to our Readers without any observation whatever. We confess that when we first received the Bulletin, saw that a battle had been fought on the 14th of JUne, and Tcacl these words, • " the Anniversary of the Battle of Marengo has been celebrated by the viaory of the Ilaab,'! our apprehensions were very strongly ex cited ; but upon •the perusal of the .Bulletin, our fears subsided. Although BUONAPARTE has neyer been very tenacious of;truth in his Bulletins, yet he was not very frequently- in the habit of contradiaing himself ; but lately he has not published a Bulletin which does not contain a direa unequivocal centra diaiOn of Some assertion contained in the preceding One. The igth Bulletin is inure remarkable in this particular !him any of the preceding o: - .es. It begins with giving an account of the progress of the French army under But.igNE BEhuut.,ilNot3 :—He states, that oniche 13th of June, it marched towards Raab. Now it will be. re.colleCted that the I:3.th BUlLtin, which is dated June the )3th, states, that the Prince uk.N F, was thou mancetivering with a large corps in the centre of Hungary. We commented upon the %pre•Ton at the tune, and ex;l ecsed our conviaion e(aal ' not be true ; but we certainly did not ':IiONAPARTE would in his very next acknom i the falsehood of his own nud Coll:eii that the French army, in t;tead of manceuvLring in the centre, had but just partied Ole frontiers of Hungary. Upon reading a lit tle More of the Bulletin, We were astonished to find odniifted that !he' Arcilduke joHN's army had been reiprictid by the rei►iaans of TET.,LAciiiCit's corps, ronsistiv of 5 or 66130 men. This corps, our Readers plllist recoiled, has been beaten—destroyed—anni bihtecl, at least twice a-week since the middle of Ma.} The time has been, That w:ten the brains Were out the man would die, An:t there an end ; but now they rise again With twenty mortal rnurArs . bn their crowns, And push Us from our Stools:, teally think it must be 4 most disheartening ‘w.stance to the French armies to find that their labrairs are perpetually renewing ) , and that their op patients, though constantly annihilated, are constant -1) A.:LAI:Iit:OD to renew the contest. With reSpe4 to the vietory Which the French claim tipcn this occaiton,, we are convinced, from their own 'account; that it is not'of a very decisive or 411pol:tacit nature. It was to be er.peeted that Boo tiApA.aTE would, in' his' present situation, eagerly seize any opportmlity'of magnifying any adyantage he 'might gain intc a vilioiy; in order to revive the spirits of his troop; but there are some passages in thin I3ui;eti{~ which ‘satisfy: . l.l4,* thz:t though the French nAht . bade 4:44 the advantaz,e ac tion, they have nn pretence to claim a decisive vic-f6ll - ,' ;With 'respect ,to the numberS killed and wounded, we know'that do - reliince can be pla;:ed in the rerich accounts. BUONAPAUTE told Us, that to tkte lsattles of the 21 . t and 22d May; he had 1100 . -and wotinded; whereas we knetv'thai his los exceeded cl i oofr) imp.

'There is . a remarkable instance of contradiEtion in the conclusion of this Bulletin; it states, that the inhabitants of the coun try replan tranquil, and take no part in the war, and yet it acknowledges that there were 10 or 12,000 men of the Hungarian Insurrekion in the Arch duke's army. Private accounts from Holland state, that distur bances prevail to such a degree in that country, as to excite the most serious alarms in its Government. The military couscription, added to the severity of the commercial restriEtions, will sufficiently account for this sate of public feeling among the'Duteh ; and the present state of affairs in Germany, is strongly calculated to draw forth their feelings, at this criti cal period, when it is possible that by one resolute struggle, they might at once get rid of the Gallic yoke. We learn that a Gentleman who left Holland on Tuesday last, fully confirms these accounts, of the irritation of the public mind in that country, par ticularly in Amsterdam, where the people seethed to be ripe for insurrection. The same person, states, that an insurreElion has broken out in Flan devs. These accounts are strengthened by a Letter from Rotterdam of the :6th inst. received yesterday, which has also the following passage .--" It is re ported that the King of Westphalia, in consequence of general commotion among his subjeefs,' has taken refuge in Frankfort; the inhabitants of which are even apprehensive of a hostile visit." Thus the ge neral spirit of the Continent is evidently rising, against its Oppressor, and mankind may more rea sonably indulge the hope, than at any former period, that if his power is not extinguished, it will be re duced within such bounds as will prevent him , f,rom being able to disturb the peace ..of .Eurepe, and shake the basis of all GovernMents but those of his own creation. Early_ yesterday morning the Duke of YORK and Earl WINCHILSEA arrived at Windsor. Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, the Duke of York, and Princess AUGUSTA, accompanied by Earl WINCHILSEA, Lady CRANLEY, Generals GARTH and FiTztto z, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode in Windsor great Park, and returned at twelve o'clock to the Palace. The Duke of CU:VIBERLAND'S excellent band was in attendance at the Countess of PEMBROKE'S, in Richmond Park, and were stationed upon the lawn, during the visit of her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSKS,• on Wednesday last. When the Royal Party arrived, they struck yap ". God save the King," and continued to play different pieces during the stay of the Royal Visitors. Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES arnus ed themselves with walking in her Ladyship's de. lightfol pleasure -grounds. The Duchess of MARL. BOROUGH and Daughter, the Duchessoll3naotAtuGti, the Countess of MANSFIELD, Lord and Lady STOP roRD, and a number of the neighbouring Nubility and Gentry, were present on the occasion. A report prevailed yesterday that Harnburgh and Bremen were evacuated by the French. It was also said, that souse commotion had taken place in liolland. A Russian Ukase has been received, condemning the English and American ships seized at Riga.. Flanders is said to be in a state of insurredion. It is said that an Embargo was ordered to be,laid on Thursday at Yarmouth, and that similar orders have been dispatched to other ports to the eastward and southward. Orders have been issued to all the Lords Lieu tenants of Counties to suspend till 'next Spring all farther operations respefaing the Local Militia in their respective districts. Marquis WELLESLEY has been prevented from setting Off upon his Mission to Spain on account Of indisposition. The Noble Marquis being now recovered, will leave London on Monday for Ports mouth, to proceed to Spain. He will be accompa nied t)37 Lord AFSLEY, the s on o f Earl BATHURST. Lieutenant Guy arrived at the Admit - ally , last night with Dispatches from Admiral BERKELEY, i n the Tagus. He also b roug h t Dispatches for Lord CASTLEREAGH : they are said not to be important. His MAJESTY has ordered a service of plate for the p r i nc ,. ss o f WALES, which is intended for a heir loom to the Royal apartments which-she 'possesses in Kensington Palace. Orders have beers issued to the Commanders of Volunteer Corps throughout the Kingdom, to in form their respeaive corps that none will be con tinued which shall not in future provide their own cloathing. A number of the persons confined at Verdun have succeeded in etfeaing their escape. Sorue of them are' alreadx arrived in Englantl. • One Gentleman states, states, that on his passing through Arras, he saw a considerable number of young conscripts who . were on their way to ioin the French army in Germany. Many of them nioved with distressing reluaance, ac companied by their parents and relations, and others were compelled to march by force. -.

COIMBRA, JUNE 3.—According to intelligence from Badajos, of the i.6th ult. it appears that the army of VICTOR was returning towards its former position, abandoning Alcantara. The French co lumn which was stated in our last to have been beaten near Lugo, belonged to Marshal NEY, and not to SouLT, who, according to the latest accounts, was at Alhariz ; the Marquis of ROMANA was pre paring to attack .11i0.—(Lusitanian Mercury'.) General VICTOR is encamped in Torreyquiernada and its environs, with the grenadiers of the division of LAPISSE, which consists of 5,000 infantry, and 700 horse. General VELSASTE is at Torre Orgaz,. where he occupies the palace of the Marquis, toge ther with three other Generals, and the. Officers of his division, which in number amount to eight thou sand, is encamped in that neighbourhood. In Torre- , Mocha and Bhanes there is another division of in fantry. The cavalry of the vanguard is stationed at Truxdlo, where, on the 24th of May, arrived 300 covered carts, and for which place the sick and wounded had set out from Caoeres. The whole of his artillery is placed on the bridges of Torre-Qrga, Torrentcha and Bolija. In every town through which he passed, he has committed the greatest barbarities, killing all who attempted to escape to the mountains.--:-(Liston Diary, Junes.) PRIVATE LETTER.

A letter from Captain ELMES, of the Ship George, of Greenock, to his owners, dated PitSion, 24th of May, says :—" On the 6th of April, in lat. 45. 40. long. 47. 30. fell in with the ice, and was forced to the southward as far as lat. 41. 30. several Ships and Brigs in sight. On lath April, in a' thick fog, struck on an island of ice and stove in her bows and cutwater, and started her breast hooks ; and, after being jammed in by the ice, till the 28th, the Ship making much water, the crew, e 6 in number, for the preservation of their lives, got-upon the ice and hauled their boat upon it, where, being for 17 days (latter part in nearly a starving state) they got off by the assistance of a Vessel bound to Quebec, and have all arrived safely at Pktou, except two of the men, who went up to. Quebec. By a letter from Captain M‘Mtu.str, of the Neva, we learn, they boarded the Ship George, on the 28th, after the crew had left her ; and on the 29th, at three o'clock in the morning, weather being clear, saw her go down." The Earl ,of CHATHAM has given the necessary orders for his immediate departure, as Commander in Chief of the intended grand expedition. His Lordship is not to be superseded in the Ordnance Department ; Sir TtiomAs TftwGa, as Deputy, will preside at the head of that office during his Lord ship's absence. The daughter of Lord VERNON, according to re porkin the fashionable circles, is speedily to give her .viand to the Hon. Mr. HEaIiERT, second son of Lord SHEFFIELD. The fashionable females are, it seems, lessening their waist. We hope the new measure wil.. apply to another habit, of the same sound, but different , orthography. i.).Thursd q y last, in Portland-place, Lady SAI, ouit gave an elegant Ball and Supper.
